Photographing volumes of poetry, 2012

This year, more than any, I began photographing volumes of poetry to accompany my blog entries. Selecting and photographing volumes gave me a chance to think more about the materiality of books and the beauty of many covers. Moving forward, I hope to photograph more volumes in 2013, and perhaps even do some exhibits on the books as part of my public humanities projects at the university.

What follows are some of the photographs from the last year.
